This is a fantastic garage. Whenever I have called up to book my car in for a service or MOT I have…read morenever had a problem booking in. The lady who works in the reception office is an angel! She keeps the boys in the garage in check and has fantastic customer service skills. She remembers everyone's name when they come in and if I have had to wait before seeing her, she is alway apologetic. In fact, the noticeboard in the office is full of letters saying thank you and commending the place and the excellent customer service. The lads who work in the garage are very nice too. My car has never needed to stay over night and I usually get it back at the end of the day if I have booked it in early in the morning. Once, my car needed quite a lot doing to it, but they phoned me before they went ahead with it as it was going to be pricey and wanted to ensure I still wanted to go through with it. I thought that this was really professional and fair. They also always offer to give me a lift back home, which is not too far away, which is very kind too. I like this place as the staff are brilliant and they are professional and treat my car well. Very trustworthy and helpful people.

They have virtually every major tyre manufacturer including Avon, Bridgestone, Continental, Cooper, Dunlop, Firestone, Goodyear, Hankook, Michelin and Pirelli, and also offer a wide range of budget tyres. I was in the market for some rubber for my son's Vauxhall Corsa and got a set of four for just under £30.00 each. Service was fast, efficient and friendly and if you can get a better deal anywhere else they offer to beat it. Other services include exhausts, brakes, batteries and catalytic converters. Worth a visit.

After a drive back from the Cotswolds my Brother's car was sounding progressively worse - kind of…read morelike someone had thrown a bag of gravel in a heavy duty blender. So after we thankfully arrived home alive and without casualties he thought it would be a good idea to have the horrendous sound checked out. I accompanied him to Ratchet and Spanner, they said they would try and confirm what the cause of the problem was and get back to him in a couple of days. So after a couple of days they believed they had identified the problem, apparently the radiator fan has come loose and was grinding against the surrounding casing - no major biggie according to them. They installed a new one and. . . peace at last, relative to how it was, it felt like I was passenger in one of the smoothest auto-mobiles cruising the streets of Birmingham. £20 down and a functioning fan up - that seems like a fair trade to me.
